Board 8 > B8 NFL Suicide League: Week 6

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm amazed people plan their picks out ahead of time, this early in the season.

And I keep waiting for that one week that obliterates the remaining field. The year I won, it was because everyone simply fell down around me. Only had to survive until like week 10.

I already have a plan for every week.

Meaning, beyond the suicide league? Or meaning you have a single pick ready for each week this season, and a bunch of contingencies for if someone gets injured or if suddenly there's only 2 people left after next week?

I do some quick schedule checks but you could have a starting qb go out at any time which messes it up

From memory:

Arizona
KC
Dolphins (or Ravens)
Cowboys
Buccaneers
Seahawks
Rams
Titans (or Saints)
SF
Chargers
Patriots (Or Bills if the Patriots totally implode I suppose)
Bills OR Packers depending on who needs it.

Most weeks have a little wiggle room though (I'm not set on using Buffalo OR GB all year right now, and did the same with KC last year). I'm going to look back at week 15 because it took me a while to remember that one.

I specifically risked the Vikings week 5 for the purpose of saving teams like the Cowboys, Ravens, and Bucs for future weeks. I had already started planning ahead when I made that pick.

Certain weeks are nightmarishly bad though. As Xuxon had already pointed out, there is not a single quality suicide pick for week 12. It doesn't even matter who you save.

Bucs at home vs the giants would be good if you've saved them for week 12 .

That's week 11, which is where I currently have them.

Week 12 is Bucs at Colts, and the Colts are markedly better than their so-far brutal schedule makes their record show and are going to have a much better look when they get to that game.

I wouldn't say "markedly" better because the reasons they lose those games are often self-inflicted and I wouldn't trust Wentz to still be upright by the time we get to that point in the season
